Let's just skip the whole torture thingy, and move on to extra-judicial killing via drones. I say we let the President draw up a secret list of potential targets. Targets who have had no chance to defend themselves against a verdict of capital punishment from above. Even US citizens. And let's make sure that the group of those who provide the President with the info on which he makes his life-or-death decision is very, very small. What's that you say? It's already being done? Well then, apologizing for pouring water on a tshirt held over KSM's nose and mouth for 20 seconds a coupla times seems like small potatoes. Let's MoveOn.org.
You can almost hear the cheers for al Queda in the story, and especially in the comments section. "Bin, bin, bin Laden! Al Queda is going to win!" What a great fantasy world you all must live in, where Obama simply speaks and the rest of the world roles over, ready for a tummy rub. Thankfully, my platoon had not consisted of a bunch of panty-waist whiners whose biggest worry was if they had cleared the search cache before Mom took her computer back.

I thought Obama had....
I thought Obama had a phone and a pen, and was going to blast through all these pesky Constitution barriers, like federalism.
Waaaahh, my pussy hurts because of Bush
